Quest For Coin

Tap to rate

A hazy pale ale at 5.2% with apricot and stone fruit on the nose, followed by pine and citrus from a heavy dry hop. A large share of wheat in the grist brings a light malty, bready note to the finish. The beer is left with a high finishing gravity, which adds body and a touch of sweetness that rounds off the bitterness from the kettle hops. It first appeared at the start of 2023, before the change of operator.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Quest For Coin

◎ Appearance

A soft golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspended yeast and proteins, creating an opaque, cloudy presentation characteristic of the style. The head is dense and creamy, with good adhesion to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is gentle, supporting the full-bodied mouthfeel without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit—apricot and peach—layered beneath herbaceous and piney dry-hop character that provides lift and complexity. A subtle malty, grainy undertone from the wheat-forward grist grounds the profile without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with hop character in the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with early citrus and pine from the dry-hop building through the mid-palate. The elevated wheat content introduces a light bready character and contributes a slightly creamy texture. The high finishing gravity adds perceptible sweetness and body that tempers the kettle-hop bitterness, creating balance rather than sharpness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering stone-fruit esters and a soft pine note fading into the residual malt sweetness. No harsh edges; the aftertaste remains pleasant and drinkable.
